The First Corrupt Official of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 314 Master Ye fights against the gods and Buddhas. The original author is Zhu Yunwen, and Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly wakes up!
As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, he immediately took out a blank imperial edict and took up a pen to write an imperial edict asking Ye Qing to cause trouble.

Empress Ma and Zhu Biao looked at the contents of the imperial edict and were very full of "revenge".

But they still unanimously showed a happy and lucky smile, because it is better to be retaliated by the emperor than to be beheaded by the emperor.

Besides, Ye Qing's behavior is really annoying and he should really take care of it.

Wise ministers cannot be killed, but those who are annoying should be dealt with appropriately.

The emperor was so angry that he did not say anything, but also asked the queen, the prince and the marshal to work together to save his life. A person who would cause trouble for others should also find some trouble for him.

"Come on,"

"Go to Ningbo Mansion to convey the order!"

"His special executive government should also set an example for state capitals all over the world!"

"Tell him Ye Qing, if things are done well, there will be rewards. If things are done badly, it will not be as simple as punishment!"

"."

In the morning three days later,
An eunuch delivering the order, escorted by dozens of guards wearing golden armor and brocade clothes, arrived at the prefecture's Yamen in Ningbo Prefecture.

Of course, what they were guarding was not just a little eunuch, but the yellow cloth bag on his back, which contained the imperial edict as if I were personally present.

Although this eunuch returned to Ye Qing Mansion for the first time to deliver the edict, he would not be surprised by the transcendent scene in front of him.

They all said that they had never eaten pork and had seen pigs running away. He had never seen with his own eyes how far Ye Qing went, but he had already heard about it.

When he looked at the scene in front of him, the most he could say was, 'It's so far beyond this'!
But the emperor himself doesn't care. He, an imperial envoy who helps the emperor, has nothing to care about.

In the government office,

Ye Qing hurriedly put on his red official robe, put on his official hat, and led the officials in his house out to receive the order.

However, the expressions of the prefect Ye Qing and the judge Wu Yong were one happy and one sad.

Ye Qing looked at Wu Yong who had a worried face and said, "What's your expression?"

"Is this the attitude we should have to welcome the imperial edict?"

Wu Yong just smiled awkwardly and was no longer worried, but he was still worried.

Although he made what he considered to be a fairly complete arrangement for Ye Qing, it was only a supporting role at most. Whether Ye Qing could really win awards and meritorious service for such a thing would depend on the emperor's mood at the time.

He really couldn't figure out where the confidence on their Lord Ye's face came from.

Of course Ye Qing is confident!
In his opinion, it would only be worthwhile if he could win awards and make meritorious deeds!
The thing he is confident about is not winning awards and meritorious service, but being granted death by Zhu Yuanzhang and then going home smoothly to enjoy his happiness!

The reason why he acted so solemnly was to thank His Majesty the Emperor for his kindness.

As long as this imperial edict goes as he wishes, he will not care about Zhu Yuanzhang's previous guilt for delaying his return home, and will still salute and thank him.

At the gate of the government office,
Ye Qing did not bend his knees, but folded his hands in front of him and bowed slightly: "Your Majesty, Ye Qing listens."

In the eyes of the eunuch who delivered the order, all the government officials were already kneeling behind them, but Master Ye was the only one who refused to do so.

Of course, this kind of big matter, which would be a capital crime for other officials, becomes a trivial matter for Mr. Ye.

Besides, Mr. Ye is very polite, and there is a special person to pay for tea and water in turn!
However, this is a bit too aboveboard!
In front of the onlookers, he started paying for tea one after another!
After the eunuch who delivered the edict paid for the tea, he took off the yellow cloth bundle from his back with a smile, and then held up the imperial edict scroll to show that the wax seal was still intact.

After he opened the wax seal in front of everyone, he began to read the imperial edict.

"The emperor is destined to be carried by heaven, and Zhi said:"

"The advice given by Ye Qing, the governor of Ningbo Prefecture, is a national policy that benefits the country and the people. I am deeply gratified after reading it. I now adopt it all and announce it to the whole country for implementation."

"This policy is dedicated to Aiqing, and Ningbo Prefecture is a special administrative government. Aiqing should set an example for the Ming Dynasty Prefecture."

"I order my beloved to take the lead in implementing this strategy in Ningbo Mansion. No matter how it is done, there is no limit to the means!"

"Kin this!"

After the eunuch who delivered the edict closed the imperial edict, he walked up to Ye Qing and whispered softly: "Your Majesty asked the servant to tell Mr. Ye that if this matter is done well, there will be a reward, but if the matter is done badly, it will not be as simple as a punishment. ”

With that said, the eunuch who delivered the decree returned to his original position, presented the imperial edict with both hands and said: "Master Ye, don't be stunned, accept the edict!"

In everyone's eyes, Ye Qing just stood there without blinking, resembling a wax figure that only looked like a living person.

But they didn't know that Ye Qing's mind was moving very fast.

"It doesn't make sense!"

"Although Zhu Yuanzhang was very cruel in killing officials, he really valued friendship."

"It's enough to be rewarded for killing Zhu Huan and his son. Now I want to kill his 'Monk Zhu's' second hometown. Why is there nothing wrong?"

"I killed all his benefactors, and he is still so supportive?"

"In addition, my anger is just a human way of writing. There is no reason for him not to kill me in a fit of anger!"

"It stands to reason that if my memorial is in the hands of Hu Weiyong, he will definitely report it privately and fan the flames!"

"Did he report it in the court?"

Ye Qing thought that if Hu Weiyong reported to the court and did not fan the flames, this result would be very reasonable.

Because above this court, it is really not the emperor and I who speak out.

Putting aside his rebellious writing style, his strategies of restricting Buddhism and preventing monasteries from becoming big landlords are indeed very good.

In fact, these strategies are not his original creation!

These strategies are the original creation of Emperor Jianwen Zhu Yunwen!
Without Ye Qing, Zhu Yuanzhang would have continued to favor Buddhist temples.

And these Buddhist temples will definitely rely on Zhu Yuanzhang's favor to continue to grow bigger and stronger, and eventually become organized group landowners.

Zhu Yunwen introduced this series of measures in order to restrict these Buddhist temples that had become big landlords.

It's just that his measures failed before they were fully implemented!
There is no other reason,

Because of these measures, a monk named Yao Guangxiao, known as the "Prime Minister in Black", strengthened his determination to instigate Zhu Di to rebel.

And his series of measures also became one of Zhu Di's excuses to attack him.

Ye Qing still remembers that Zhu Di said that he was violating the "Ancestor's Instructions" by restricting Buddhism!
Ye Qing originally thought that after he was sentenced to death and Zhu Yuanzhang obtained the three large black iron boxes he left behind, he would wake up and then implement these measures to restrict Buddhism himself.

But he never expected that Zhu Yuanzhang not only refused to kill him, but also made him a model for the whole country?
It was obvious that Hu Weiyong would never do anything that would benefit him, Ye Qing!
There is one and only one answer to the reason for such an unfavorable situation, and that is that his autographed memorial fell into the hands of another Zhongshu right minister, Xu Da.

But you should know that it is very rare for Xu Da to sit in the government office of Zhongshu Province.

It's so 'good' luck to have all of these happen to you!

Ye Qing didn't want to accept the edict, and even wanted to tear up the edict directly.

But he is not ready to do that now!
There is no other reason,

Just because Zhu Yuanzhang asked the eunuch who passed the order to whisper to him.

It was obvious that after Xu Da reported in a way that was beneficial to him, Zhu Yuanzhang must have had no choice but to issue such an imperial edict that was detrimental to Ye Qing.

But he must be unhappy, so he asked the eunuch who delivered the order to say something threatening.

This feeling is so good!
Wouldn't it be better if he just messed up the matter?

Thinking of this, Ye Qing just raised the corner of his mouth slightly, accepted the imperial edict with both hands and said: "Your Majesty, Ye Qing, accept the edict!"

After Ye Qing watched the eunuch who delivered the order leave, he immediately looked at Wu Yong and said, "Arrange the people, the raid guy, tomorrow we will raid the home of the Buddhist temple."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Qing went back home to sleep.

Wu Yong looked at Ye Qing's back and just smiled lightly. He was very satisfied with the result and was convinced that his arrangement had indeed played a supporting role.

He was not going to tell Ye Qing all this, nor was he going to ask for credit from Ye Qing. Ye Qing had already given him enough.He just wants to continue to carry forward this spirit of thinking for Master Ye quietly!

At this moment, he suddenly remembered that there were still many things on his hands, and he would not be able to spare them tomorrow.

"grown ups,"

"I'm still very busy with the construction of the deep-water terminal and taking over the Ningbo Shipping Company. I don't have five or six days to spare, so I really can't spare any time!"

Ye Qing said without looking back: "Then you hurry up and when you're done, let's go ransack the house together!"

Two days later, the eunuch who delivered the order returned to the court to deliver the order.

It's just that the eunuch who delivered the order thought Zhu Yuanzhang's expression was strange. He had heard before that Lord Ye used the imperial edict to flatter him, and that the emperor was unhappy when he resisted the edict on the spot.

But after Ye Qing happily accepted the order this time, His Majesty the Emperor still looked sad.

Of course, this is not something he should ask!
Besides, if he could understand the emperor's thoughts, he wouldn't be a eunuch here.

Under the golden roof of the imperial study room,
After Zhu Yuanzhang learned that Ye Qing was not making trouble at all and accepted the order happily, he immediately frowned.

The saying, "If something goes wrong, it will turn out to be a monster," is very reasonable.

For others, it is normal to accept orders happily, but for him, Ye Qing, it is normal to make trouble when receiving orders.

Ye Qing accepted the order happily, but Zhu Yuanzhang felt that it was abnormal, and the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became. He always felt that Ye Qing was going to cause him trouble, or a lot of trouble.

"no,"

"We have to go take a look!"

"This time, we have to take Xu Da and Wang Baobao to see it together!"

"If Ye Qing doesn't understand the importance and messes up the matter, then they will have nothing to say!"

"."

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang called Zhu Biao and began to hand over.

When Zhu Biao heard that he wanted to supervise the country again, he was immediately unhappy.

Zhu Biao just stood aside and complained in a low voice: "I visit privately incognito every day, and hang around a local official every day, how can I still look like an emperor?"

"You are not afraid that I will directly usurp your position!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he took out the feather duster that his sister had put here to beat him, and started to greet Zhu Biao.

"What did you say, bastard?"

"I'm training you, training you. It sounds like I'm trying to find ways to be lazy."

"Usurper?"

"That's great. As long as you have the ability to usurp the throne without any bloodshed, I will take off the dragon robe for you with a smile."

"Do you have this ability?"

"Don't complain if you don't have the skills. Practice your skills well!"

"When I leave, you can build a good relationship with your uncles and nobles. As long as you can make them fight for you through life and death, and as long as you can make them force you to usurp the throne for you, I will smile and become the emperor!"

"But before you have this ability, if you complain once, I will beat you once!"

"."

A few days later,

Zhu Yuanzhang, Queen Ma and Mao Xiang, together with Xu Da and Wang Baobao, came to Ningbo City.

Of course, Xu Miaojin and Mei Duolam also came with them!

The two of them will never miss the opportunity to let their daughter meet Ye Qing, even though they are not planning to meet Ye Qing this time.

Two days later, in the early morning, a plainclothes guard squatting outside the Ningbo government office found Mao Xiang.

"General, Mr. Ye has mobilized fifty elite soldiers and will lead them personally."

"It seems that they are going to raid the homes of Buddhist temples in various places in Ningbo Prefecture!"

After Mao Xiang heard the news, his whole body went numb.

Is this how he handles things?
The result Zhu Yuanzhang wanted was to not only achieve the effect of restricting Buddhism, but also maintain his image of "Monk Zhu" who never forgets his roots even when he is in power.

If you really want to solve the problem by confiscating the houses one by one, then it will solidify his image of Zhu Yuanzhang as ungrateful and very forgetful of his roots.

If the emperor loses his face, Ye Qing will naturally lose his life!

In the guest room private room,

After Zhu Yuanzhang learned the news, he immediately became angry.

At the same time, Queen Ma, Xu Da, Wang Baobao and others also frowned to varying degrees.

Xu Miaojin and Mei Dolam reached a tacit psychological understanding just by looking at each other.

Although they didn't interact much with Ye Qing, they also knew that Ye Qing was not a person who didn't care about the importance of things.

In their view, the legendary 'house raid' is not literal.

But they are not only subjects, but also juniors. They really have no qualifications to persuade Zhu Yuanzhang to take a look before talking.

Just when the two of them were frowning, Queen Ma said directly: "Chongba, don't be so hasty."

"Let's go and take a look. I believe that kid won't do things so lightly."

"Besides, there are so many of us here. If he really wants to do something outrageous, we can just stop him on the spot."

After Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he also felt that this was the case.

"All right!"

"Let's go and see for ourselves how Ye Qing wants to raid the Buddhist family!"

After a while,

The group of them blended in low-key and followed the crowd watching the excitement.

Considering that Xu Miaojin and Mei Duolam really couldn't keep a low profile, they were asked to wear men's clothing and put on fake beards at the same time.

As long as you have a beard, no matter how good-looking you are, you can blend in low-key.

After following out of the city, they soon arrived at the gate of Sanjiang Temple, the largest temple in Sanjiang County where the government was located.

The people looked at the formation in front of them and started talking directly.

"These monks are so bold!"

"Master Ye is on an errand, how dare they bring all the monks out to confront him?"

"These monks have lost their minds a long time ago. They are just big landowners wearing monk skins!"

"Fortunately, your majesty woke up early, and fortunately your majesty identified Mr. Ye. Otherwise, these monks will become a big problem in the future!"

"It's just that these monks are too arrogant. I'm afraid it's impossible not to take action."

"."

among the crowd,

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes widened when he saw the scene in front of him.

He really didn't expect that these monks would be so arrogant as to ignore his imperial edict! .
　It's the end of the month, and I still have more than 400 monthly passes. I beg you, please spend some of your monthly passes. Thank you!
